NOW FOR THE FUN STUFF. . . FINANCIALS!!!

In case you missed our Parent Meeting last week, we have some important financials to report to you.

To date, we have raised $10,705.73 towards the #savethetubas campaign. This is 35.7% of our goal.

70% of our band families provided contributions to our operations this year. Our goal is 100%.

Our expenses next year are projected to be $26,610. These expenses include busing/transportation costs, show music/arrangement/choreography, advertising, senior gifts, color guard flags, and various other administrative costs. To meet these expenses, we will need to raise at least $7,000 more next year than we did this year. This means that we need to aim for 100% of our band families providing contributions for the 2018-2019 year.
